Wildfire smoke has resulted in poor air quality warnings being issued for much of Alberta, including Calgary and Edmonton while smoke coming in from the B.C. wildfires has prompted air quality alerts as far away as Manitoba.

“Although minor smoke conditions do not typically cause health concerns in healthy individuals, if smoke conditions become more severe, even healthy individuals may experience temporary irritation of eyes and throat and possibly shortness of breath,” the advisory read.
